About Schedit

Schedit is a cloud-based workforce management platform on a mission to transform how businesses handle their most complex operational challenge: scheduling. We're building intuitive, efficient, and beautiful experiences that streamline operations, compliance, and reporting across industries. As we gear up for our 2025 launch, we're assembling a founding engineering team that will define our technical culture and build the foundation for years to come.

This is your chance to be part of the zero-to-one journey—where every line of code matters, every architectural decision shapes the future, and every team member has outsized impact.

About the Role

We're seeking a Full Stack Engineer who will lead our Android development while contributing across our entire technology stack. This is a unique opportunity to own the end-to-end delivery of our Android application while being part of a broader engineering ecosystem. You'll work closely with our Senior Mobile Engineering Lead (who drives our iOS platform) and contribute to backend systems when needed.

This isn't a role confined to just mobile development—you'll think full-stack, write production code across Android and backend services, and have the autonomy to shape both our mobile experience and the systems that power it. As we scale, this role has a clear path to technical leadership, with the opportunity to build and mentor a world-class mobile engineering team.

What You'll Own

- Android Platform Leadership: Take full ownership of our Android application from architecture to deployment, ensuring a best-in-class mobile experience - Mobile-First Development: Build native Android applications using Kotlin and Java, leveraging modern Android architecture components and best practices - Product Launch Execution: Drive the successful delivery of our Android application to support our 2025 launch plans—ship fast, iterate based on user feedback, and maintain high quality - Full Stack Contribution: Contribute to backend services (Java-based) as needed, understanding the full journey from API to UI - Technical Excellence: Establish mobile development standards, testing strategies, and CI/CD pipelines that enable rapid, reliable releases - Cross-Platform Collaboration: Work closely with iOS development to ensure feature parity, shared learnings, and consistent user experiences

What You Bring

Must-Haves

- 5-6 years of software engineering experience with strong Android development expertise - Native Android mastery: Deep proficiency in Kotlin and Java with production Android applications at scale - Modern Android stack: Hands-on experience with Jetpack Compose, Android Architecture Components (ViewModel, LiveData, Room), Coroutines, and Flow - Backend familiarity: Comfortable working with backend systems and APIs—bonus if you've written production Java/Kotlin backend code - Mobile architecture expertise: Strong understanding of MVVM, Clean Architecture, or similar patterns; you know when to apply them and when to keep it simple - API integration: Experience building robust mobile apps that consume RESTful APIs, handle offline scenarios, and manage state effectively - Performance optimization: You've profiled apps, optimized rendering, reduced memory footprint, and shipped apps that feel fast - Testing expertise: Strong experience with testing mobile applications and comfortable writing automation tests (Unit tests, Integration tests, UI tests with Espresso/UI Automator) - Ownership mindset: You've taken features from concept to production, handled releases, monitored crashes, and iterated based on user feedback

Bonus Points for

- Experience with cross-platform frameworks like Flutter - Experience with dependency injection frameworks (Dagger/Hilt, Koin) - Knowledge of reactive programming and modern concurrency patterns - Hands-on experience with Gradle build optimization and modularization - Familiarity with mobile CI/CD tools (Fastlane, Bitrise, GitHub Actions) - Experience integrating third-party SDKs and native platform features - Previous work on workforce management, scheduling, or business productivity apps - Contributions to open-source Android projects or technical writing - Experience with backend frameworks (Spring Boot, Ktor) and cloud services (AWS) - Previous startup experience, especially in 0→1 product launches

What Success Looks Like

- Product Delivery: You ship the Android application on time with quality that makes users love it - Technical Craftsmanship: Your code is clean, testable, and well-architected; your PRs are examples for the team - Ownership & Initiative: You don't wait for specifications—you collaborate with product, ask the right questions, and drive clarity - Full Stack Thinking: You understand the entire system, from backend APIs to UI interactions, and optimize the whole experience - Velocity & Reliability: You balance speed with stability—shipping quickly while maintaining app performance and crash-free rates - Team Collaboration: You actively share knowledge with the iOS team and backend engineers, fostering a culture of learning

This Role is For You If

- You get excited about building mobile experiences from scratch and seeing them in users' hands - You believe in owning outcomes, not just features—you care about app metrics, user feedback, and business impact - You're comfortable working across the stack and don't see backend contributions as "not my job" - You thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy learning from a Senior Mobile Engineering Lead - You want to be the go-to Android expert while staying versatile and full-stack capable - You see mobile development as more than UI work—it's about architecture, performance, and user delight - You want agency and direct impact on product direction, not just executing handed-down requirements

This Role is NOT For You If

- You prefer working exclusively on mobile apps with no backend involvement - You need highly detailed product specs and extensive hand-holding before starting - You're looking for a large team with specialized roles—this is a startup where everyone wears multiple hats - You're uncomfortable with the pace, ambiguity, and iteration cycles of early-stage product development - You prefer iOS over Android or want to work equally across both platforms (we have dedicated iOS leadership) - You're looking for work-life separation rather than work-life integration

What We Offer

- Competitive Compensation: As a startup we offer reasonable salary that recognizes senior expertise - Impact: Your app will directly affect thousands of businesses and their employees - Remote-First Team: Work from anywhere with occasional team gatherings (as needed) - Flexible Working: True flexibility based on trust and output, not hours logged - Modern Stack: You'll help define our Android architecture and tech choices - Growth Path: Clear trajectory to technical leadership as we scale the mobile team - Mentorship: Work closely with an experienced Senior Mobile Engineering Lead
